franciscanheart Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 After a couple trips to NYC in the hot summer months, I wondered how the sweet CFRs managed to stay cool and fresh. I'm not sure they do. But then, the city kinda smells anyway so whatevs, right? They definitely bundle up (in gray!) during the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vee Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Carmelites dont care because if its too hot they offer it up and save souls, and if its too cold they offer that up as well and save souls.

Well, one of the postulants that grew up in MN is ALWAYS cold, regardless (my sister), so she would need a sweater. The postulant who grew up in ND was always marveled at by the other Sisters because she rarely wore sweaters or jackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does "offering it up" mean? What do you say? And how does it save souls? I know these are stupid questions, but they are serious. Anglicans don't do this, so I never heard of it before I came on Phatmass. You're going to save LOTS AND LOTS of souls when you're in Texas with DS it's going to be SO hot. Plus, you can save souls by offering up just the fact that you're with DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah147 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 [quote name='Mary Magdalene' timestamp='1310427789' post='2266012'] Some orders like the religious sisters of mercy have a summer habit. This is is lighter colour and made from a lighter material. They also go swimming in the summer time. They have a pool at the motherhouse, which comes in handy! [/quote] That's totally a w esome! I have my super modest bathing attire so I'm all set if I ever enter there, should it not work with the SsEW. I'm STILL waiting for my Priest and another person to write up letters for me about health and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You endure it with love for Jesus, just as He suffered and offered up Himself on the Cross for love of the Father and us.

Maximilianus Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) Today we had a Passionist priest talk at Mass. He was wearing waht looked like a white alb with a plastic Passionist emblem pinned on it instead of the usual black habit. I could only assume he was wearing an alternative to the black habit because of the oppressive heat and humidity, but I'm not sure.

I miss living so close that I could take the train there! You are so right about the smell. After I'd come back, the first thing I always did was take a shower. I think I passed one of their convents when I got lost in the city. I'm not sure, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
